The leaning continues, temperature remain ideal, fruit is setting, and we’re starting to see more color.

Vines have grown 10 – 12 feet in length. About 1/2 of the length is trailing on the ground & 1/2 is being kept in easy reach and is beginning to produce fruit. Each plant is currently trained to have 2 to 3 developing ’suckers’ in addition to the main apex, or terminal bud, of a plant’s main stem.

Update August 8, 2025

The bed was replanted with two varieties of large slicer, indeterminate tomatoes on July 21; Azoycha & Better Boy.

19 days later they have grown out the substantially, they are being trained on strings, flowers are pollinating and the forecast is favorable.

The Azoychka Tomato is a highly productive Russian heirloom that produces good yields of smooth, sweet and citrusy tomatoes that weigh 10-16 oz. each. Slightly oblate with a yellow-orange flesh and a delicious flavor. This tomato variety does well throughout the United States.

Better Boy produces large red fruit that can weigh up to 16 oz. each and is heat-tolerant making it a great choice for growers in warmer climates.
